"Amazon.com customers will be able to buy wine through the e-tailer's Web site as early as this month, a spokesman for the Napa Valley Vintners Association said Wednesday. Amazon has been working with the nonprofit group, which represents 315 vintners in the Napa Valley, to arrange workshops with wine producers that might be interested in selling wine through the retail giant, said Terry Hall, the group's communications director." - Bret Taylor via Bookmarklet

Winery-to-consumer shipping still illegal in 15 states? Totally archaic. - Richard Chen

How to hang picture frames. Useful and hilarious: "I am the reason the plaster is crumbling under the weight of the nail, it's my fault, and maybe if I had just tried harder his life wouldn't be so unbearable." - Tessa MacDuff

Sex and the Olympic city - Times Online
August 25 at 10:41 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
"I am often asked if the Olympic village - the vast restaurant and housing conglomeration that hosts the world's top athletes for the duration of the Games - is the sex-fest it is cracked up to be. My answer is always the same: too right it is. I played my first Games in Barcelona in 1992 and got laid more often in those two and a half weeks than in the rest of my life up to that point. That is to say twice, which may not sound a lot, but for a 21-year-old undergraduate with crooked teeth, it was a minor miracle." - Jess Lee via Bookmarklet

“Here is an idea that will offend music lovers: When exploring new music, I want the player to jump directly into the middle of the song, not start at the beginning. It should be more like changing channels on the radio. It only takes me a second to decide if the station is worth listening to, but...”

most songs start slow, so it take a long time to decide if I start at the beginning. If I like it, then maybe I'll go back. The same thing goes for the "next song" button on the iPod. Speaking of, why doesn't the iPhone have a "next song" button? I have to unlock the thing every time I get tired of the current song. The radio is much closer to what I want, except the music is generally awful and there are commercials, but I like to jump fast. - Paul Buchheit
like an Amazon preview but would actually finish the song? - Nice Fish Films
iTunes and Amazon samples do that - Chris White
Hop,skip and a jump! - Jason Brooks
love listening to the radio on road trips for that very reason....but there is so much music that takes longer than a few seconds to understand and appreciate. how to make that work? - Hayes Haugen
Yeah, I never tried Amazon, but that's closer, though obviously I want the full song there. Also, it needs to be faster song-to-song, and of course I want more randomness. This thought inspired by http://friendfeed.com/e/d13f6a... - Paul Buchheit
When will the artists learn? Music should start out on a high and then just build from there! - Raymond
Most movies also start out really slow and boring. I've found that I prefer to start in the middle and then only watch the beginning later on if I liked the rest of the movie (it's like a prequel that fills in the bits that didn't make sense). It also makes them a little less predictable. - Paul Buchheit
Paul: Whoops, you just posted a beta link :) - Eric Florenzano
double-click the iphone button while it's locked and it will popup an ipod dialog to pause, forward or go back. - David Vasileff
Thanks for the tip David. That helps, but is still doesn't really solve my problem. I want to go to the next song without using my eyes. Imagine if you're drunk and mostly asleep, or like jogging -- you don't want to have to focus on some touch screen just to skip whatever annoying song popped up on shuffle. Fixed Eric :) - Paul Buchheit
Paul, if you are using headset with control button, just double-click the headset button to advance? if you are using regular headphones then you're out of luck. may be a good app idea to have a music player where you can just shake to advance. - David Vasileff
Paul, I like your priorities: "like if you are drunk, mostly asleep, or maybe exercising..." - Clare Dibble
The suggestion seems to make sense for certain contexts. As for movies, I noticed that pretty much all movies that are boring in the first 5 minutes also will be boring for the rest of the movie -- and vice versa, a good movie will also have a good, interesting start. - Philipp Lenssen
As a song writer I deem this ridiculous, you need the whole experience, its the juxtaposition of the sections that is the song. A trailer taste is fine (chorus maybe) but I wouldn't want to judge a book by reading a page in the middle. - HollowMarkeD
Suggestion: extend ID3 to include "preview in" and "preview out" values (offsets from 0:00). The artist/label can decide which snippet is most representative, and embed the tags at production. Players can then fade in/out, enforce max length, string previews together for one-click album previews, etc. Maybe even allow multiple in/out pairs per track (player blends smoothly) to give artist/label more creative control. Pardon if something like this is already implemented somewhere. - Amir Gharaat
same with buying a cd, let me play track 6, if it is good, maybe i'll buy it ... same with a novel, have a look at page 145, if it hooks you, buy it ... this paul bucheit guy is pretty smart - Gregory Lent
in iTunes when I want to find new stuff, i go through my downloaded collection hitting the right arrow (with shuffle on), and use the mouse to keep jumping in the middle of each song I land on. I think this should be easier... and is probably a good candidate for a specialized button, jump to "middle" of next song. - nadim
@HollowMarkeD Is it better to judge a book by reading just the first page? Reading an entire book before forming an opinion is for reviewers, not channel surfers. Also, there's a wide range of how people experience music. For example, I usually don't notice song structure, story, or lyrics, and my 5-second judgement of a song is a good predictor of how I'd feel about the whole thing. - seth
I'm with Amir: think "movie trailer" for music (minus the deep voice introduction) with the most significant snippets selected by the artist (or the record company, ok) - dario
I wish Amoeba had this feature on their winamp listening stations - that's exactly how I start evaluating a new CD. - John Harding
for dance/electronica - yep. Tiesto's sales would double. - Bill de hÓra

"This week’s feature is a bacon alarm clock, the cleverly named Wake n’ Bacon, that wakes you up with the smell of real cooked bacon, rather than the traditional, grating, cruel, terrible, gruesome alarm-clock sound." - Jim Norris via Bookmarklet
LOL, one would quickly come to hate bacon. :P - Tanath
